"Too powerful" Are you joking? A 1985 Econoline with a 4.9 liter inline six -" the most powerful vehicle ever made"? I hate to burst your bubble, but it put out about 120 hp. That engine put out 145hp tops (in the 1990's).

What will be the title of your next review - "1963 Volkswagen 111 Sedan - The fastest car ever made"?

Obviously his intent was amusing hyperbole, and the 300 six is a sufficiently powerful engine and very appropriate to the Econoline's purpose: it may only produce less than 150 horsepower, but torque was prodigious, and as in most long-stroke inline-sixes, made down low. High torque at low RPMs is really the key to enjoyable motoring.
